Product Description
The Onkyo DX-C390 is a 6-disc carousel CD player that combines audiophile-grade construction with modern convenience features. If you are looking for a versatile CD player that offers hours of uninterrupted music with crystal-clear sound, this is your ideal player.
6-Disc Carousel with Ultra-Quiet Loading
Continuous Playback of Up to 6 Discs
The DX-C390 allows you to load 6 discs simultaneously into its automatic carousel, providing hours of uninterrupted music. The most convenient feature is that you can change 5 discs while the sixth is playing, without interruption.
Ultra-Quiet Loading Mechanism
The carousel’s automatic loading mechanism is extremely quiet, avoiding mechanical noises that could interfere with the listening experience.
Multi-bit DAC with VLSC
Audiophile-Grade Digital-to-Analog Converter
The DX-C390 uses a multi-bit (not single-bit) DAC that provides superior digital-to-analog conversion. The digital filter uses 352.8 kHz with 128x oversampling for maximum precision.
VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)
Onkyo’s exclusive VLSC technology smoothes out the resulting audio signal, providing a more crystal-clear and natural sound. This specialized circuitry is essential to the DX-C390's superior playback quality.
Direct Digital Path — Signal Protection
The Direct Digital Path is a specially shielded, high-quality cable that protects the delicate audio signal from noise emitted by surrounding circuits, ensuring maximum signal purity.
MP3 Support and Flexible Playback
CD, CD-R, and CD-RW Playback with MP3
In addition to standard CDs, the DX-C390 plays CD-Rs (recordable) and CD-RWs (rewritable), as well as MP3 discs. An MP3 disc can hold 10 hours or more of music, depending on the file bit rate.
6 Repeat Modes
The player offers 6 different repeat modes for maximum flexibility: no repeat, repeat disc, repeat track, repeat section, and more.
Advanced Programming and Control
40-Track Programming
You can program up to 40 tracks in any order from the 6 discs, creating custom playlists without the need for a digital player.
Random Track Memory
The Shuffle/Random Play function allows for random track playback, with a 40-track memory to maintain control over playback.
Direct Track Access via Remote Control
Onkyo’s RI (Remote Interactive) remote control allows direct access to any track from a distance, without the need for manual navigation.
Digital and Analog Connectivity
Optical and Coaxial Digital Output
The DX-C390 includes optical (TOSLINK) and coaxial digital output, allowing the player to be connected to amplifiers with an external DAC, AV receivers, or digital audio processors.
Fixed Analog Output
The RCA analog output is at a fixed level, allowing for direct connection to amplifiers or receivers without the need for external volume control.
Robust Chassis and Audiophile Design
Sturdy Chassis with Brushed Aluminum Front Panel
The DX-C390 is housed in a robust, sturdy chassis with an elegant brushed aluminum front panel that reflects its audiophile-grade construction.
AccuPulse Quartz System
The AccuPulse quartz clock system provides precise synchronization of the playback mechanism, ensuring perfect timing and stable playback.
